    • 1914, Robert Frost, “The Code”, in North of Boston[1], page 78:
      Tell you a story of what happened once:
      I was up here in Salem at a man’s
      Named Sanders with a gang of four or five
      Doing the haying. No one liked the boss.
      He was one of the kind sports call a spider,
      All wiry arms and legs that spread out wavy
      From a humped body nigh as big’s a biscuit.
